“We were very happy with Cayden. She gave us a good peace of mind leaving for our vacation. There were no problems and all the critters took right to her. She is organized, efficient and reliable. I would def recommend! The chocolate chip muffins she left us were so yummy!”
“So kind and easy to communicate with! They were so loving to my big pup and made being out of town less stressful knowing she was well taken care of in our absence! Would recommend every single time!”
About: I'm excited to be watching dogs again! I also watch entire farms, and many different types of animals.. just ask. Until I get a steady amount of pups per month, I do work outside the home M-F. My home is a TinyHome (12x40 shed conversion) =480 sq ft of play space, and a big yard (now fenced!) and a local park nearby. I've been pet sitting since I was 10. I LOVE dogs! I can administer medication both oral and with a shot under the skin. I ask that the dogs that I sit to be house/potty trained, unless it's a puppy younger than 6 months, and we've chatted about the pups needs. They also need to be able to put a leash on them, without any agression. Snappy or biting dogs aren't a good fit for me or my own dogs. >> I want your pet to be as relaxed and happy as I can make them. I will take any age, and any size dog :) "Exercise is the key to well behaved dogs..a tired puppy is a well behaved puppy" and I can't wait to meet you and your pups! Check out my reviews please! I work away from home currently, but with enough pups visiting, I will transition back to being home full time! When I'm home I incorporate your furbaby into me and my pup's life completely, as if they are one of the family, for the entirety of his/ her stay with me. 🥰🐾

“James always does a good job. I don’t worry about my fur babies when we are away under his care. He is always prompt and receptive to special requests.”
Acacia F.
“When my husband and I were stationed in Alaska we looked everywhere for a suitable and well priced doggy sitter. Finally, I came acrossed acacia whom not only just watched my dogs but truly loved them as if her own. I have a very scared doxie whom she knew how to hold and love, he came out of his shell and actually bonded with her (which he never does.) my bassethound did great with her pups and she unconditionally loved my babies. I am so so so very pleased with her care and am sad we left because now I have to find a sitter as dedicated as her! Can’t go wrong choosing acacia!”

“Markie was very attentive To our anxious dog Henry and he did well. She sent us photos during her stay She is very knowledgeable about dogs and a plus is that she fosters!!”
Kimberly G.
“Kimberly is one of the most animal loving person I have ever met. Her love and inclusiveness for ALL animals is what really stands her out among all the people I know. She always takes time out of her personal life to care and support animals in need. So, I’m more than confident that she’ll be able to care for those who are needing assistance with their animals.”
